Leah returned home in the evening after a long day of work followed by shopping for materials she would need for her upcoming university classes. She entered the shared apartment to find Josh and Ethan about to take a shot of alcohol.
"Heyyy! Just in time!" Her boyfriend, looking more clean-cut than he had in a while, greeted her cheerfully. "Guess what, babe? I landed a job!"
Leah's eyes widened in surprise. "No way! That's great! I didn't even know you were-"
"I wanted to surprise you," he explained, handing her a shot glass. "I've been in contact with them and had the in-person interview this morning, and they got back to me just a few hours later. The stars just aligned on this one!"
"That's so awesome! Congrats!" She exclaimed, legitimately happy for him. The trio gulped down their celebratory liquid and enjoyed a couple rounds of a simple drinking game. Josh described his interview in more detail, and the others learned that the new job was a step down from his previous one, but still seemed decent and stable. Anything was better than the sedentary life he had been living for the past few months, Leah decided.
As the drinks flowed, the elephant in the room grew larger, until Josh finally broached the subject. "So I guess this means we can finally go back to normal, right?" He asked the group suddenly.
Leah waited to see if Ethan would respond, and he did. "Eventually, yeah. Let's wait to see that first paycheck though, eh big guy?" He chuckled, slapping his friend on the back. "Besides, I already paid for this month." The handsome man smirked at his friend's girlfriend knowingly, and she felt a tingle between her legs. She had just gulped down all of his cum that very morning, and shuddered at the thought of what he was planning to do to her that night.
"Well it won't be much longer now. I start next week, so expect that money soon. We need to put this shit behind us," he said firmly, surprising the others with his sudden boost in confidence. "Be right back."
As Josh headed towards the bathroom, Ethan wrapped an arm around Leah, and pulled her against him. "I guess that means we better make every second count," he muttered in her ear as his hand roamed to her chest, squeezing her pliant flesh.
"Stop!" She whispered, squirming in his strong embrace. Both hands were now roughly groping her tits, and she could feel her nipples hardening beneath the thin fabric of her top. Her roommate's warm breath bathed her neck before his teeth lightly scraped it. "Ethan, seriously..." Leah protested as the dangerous sensations of her body's consent began to spread in her loins.
As he kissed and nibbled her soft skin, Ethan could actually feel her pulse quickening. The toilet flushed, and he slowly withdrew from the petite woman. "Where's a dressing room when you need one?" He joked, smiling at her as she quickly composed herself and fixed her shirt.
"You're such a fucking perv," she chastised her roommate just before Josh returned to the couch. The game continued, and Ethan took every chance to steal a feel of Leah, from subtly bumping his body into hers, to outright groping her when his friend was distracted. The man clearly had an appetite, and his risky advances were making her horny. At one point she let her gaze linger on the prominent bulge in his pants, and felt the urge to climb into his lap so he could put his hands all over her. After playing around a while longer, Josh announced he was ready for bed, and held his hand out to his girlfriend invitingly.
"Mmm wrong night, buddy." Ethan pointed out.
Josh shot him a look of disapproval. "I'm not going to
sleep
just yet. Will you join me, babe?"
"I see..." the cocky man laughed. "Enjoy, you two. But send her to my room when you're done," he instructed, winking.
Leah should've been used to his boldness by now, but still found herself slightly shocked that he would make such a suggestive comment in front of Josh. She rose to her feet and followed her boyfriend, thinking about how slutty it made her feel to be ordered around between the two bedrooms, and noticing that it turned her on.
As soon as they closed the door, Josh kissed her, and started removing her clothes. Leah was slightly taken aback by his newfound ability to take charge, but was pleasantly surprised. He pushed her to the bed, and rolled a condom onto his modest erection. He mounted his girlfriend, spearing her with his hardness, and began pumping away. "Wow, you're so wet already," he beamed. "My good news has you all excited, eh?" She nodded in response, focused on trying to get into the moment. While she was undoubtedly happy for his success, the moistness in her pussy was caused by Ethan's repeated sneaky touches throughout the night.
After nearly ten minutes of actually decent sex, compared to their recent attempts together, Josh ejaculated into his protection, and slumped on top of her. Leah had almost orgasmed, but ended up faking a small one as he finished. She thought about completing the job herself, or asking him to eat her out like the last time they were intimate, but decided to enjoy the restful moment with him instead.
He's too tired anyway
, she rationalized to herself, refusing to acknowledge that perhaps she was saving herself for what would inevitably happen in the next bedroom.
The young woman lay there in silence, listening to her boyfriend's deep breathing. She did feel guilty. She'd coexisted with the uncomfortable emotion for a while now, locking it away when she could, but forced to face it in the quiet moments. Whatever it was that had developed between her and Ethan, it was going to come to an end. It always had to. Knowing it was a temporary thing made the guilt easier to deal with. Leah felt that her future self could move on and accept that she and her roommate were just getting something out of their systems during this odd time in their lives. It also helped to remind herself that they had managed to keep themselves from going all the way, and had not actually had sex, which had to count for something.
Josh's breath slowed to a dull snore, and Leah scooted out from under the sleeping man. It was an Ethan night, and she had to finish out the agreement. She slipped into a thong and baggy t-shirt before tiptoeing towards the bedroom at the other end of the apartment. The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering about as she contemplated what might happen in there that night.
Will he be waiting for me with his big hard dick in hand? Will he make me suck it again, and cum down my throat? Maybe he'll lick my pussy.
Leah grew hornier the more she thought about the vast menu of dirty acts they might indulge in. She reassured herself that as long as they didn't push the boundaries any further, and were committed to stopping altogether soon, she could enjoy herself.
She opened the door and was surprised to find that the light was off, and her roommate was seemingly asleep already.
How long had I been daydreaming?
